A Purposeful Pause – Conversations about finding purpose in a complex, COVID-19 world

In light of the ongoing pandemic and economic upheaval, many of us are questioning our sense of purpose. What new callings are you hearing during this difficult, but potentially transformative, time? Might you feel pulled by multiple, maybe even contradictory, purposes?? How do you fit into a larger purpose? Can you pursue your highest purpose and still pay the bills? 

Those are weighty questions. At the same time, simply questioning your purpose can add more stress to the already demanding situation. It’s not easy to redefine your life while navigating a once-in-a-lifetime crisis. 

If this moment has you exploring your purpose and you’d like the company of fellow seekers, the Teal Team invites you to join us as we work out new ways of defining, examining, or clarifying our sense of purpose–and what it might mean both as individuals and as members of organizations. You may not come away with one clear, true purpose. But you won’t be alone in pursuing clarity.

As a participant, you will:

• Be invited to share how you are defining or redefining your sense of purpose during the pandemic

• Break into small groups to discuss ways your sense of purpose maybe be evolving in response to existential challenges 

• Learn about the growing importance of purpose to our wellbeing and the wellbeing of our organizations
